sit a whole evening with the sharp
point of q pin sticking her in the
small of the back, and converse aud
smile so sweetly that it takes no
stretch Of the imagination to con-
vince ole that 'snot q wave Of trou-
bic rolls across her peaceful breast.
Put a man in the same situation
and he could cut up as many antics
as a wild bull in a china shop and
be about as mild hammered, while
his language would create an atmos-
phere of the deepest blue in that
immediate neighborhood. A man
always carries a pin in the lapel of
his coat or vest, what for NE don't
know; but a woman always asks for
it and gets 1t away from him-then
when he wants it himself, suddenly,
he finds it is gone and is mad. In
the unconcerned manner OF a wo-
man when enduring the most ex-
quisite tortus, is evidenced the won
derful reserve force that enables her
to face all the trials, suffering, mis-
fortunes of life with a determined
fortitude unknown to a man. A
woman may meet with the bitterest
disappointment, may feel the want
Of compsnionship aud appreciation,
perhaps right in her own home,
till her very soul cries out in NOR
tai agony, and yot she will give no
outward sign-the body viii grow
thin, the face pale, the step languid,
until the soul, gorged with the
husks of life, passes to the mystic
shore, and no M can tell, save her
mother perhaps, who has been adj
mitted to the inner sanctuary, why
q life has gone out, surrounded, APP
parently, by most fortuitous circum-
stances. Her epitaph should be,
Starved III the midst Of plenty"
Alas, what tragedies in every day
life are hidden under faces that
smile and give no sign!
